SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Losing conversation context between AI agent sessions leads to repeated work, missed details, and inefficient task completion. This Skill eliminates that problem by automatically generating a structured handoff document that captures all critical context from the current conversation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Intelligent Summarization: Compacts full conversation history into a concise document, avoiding duplication of content already stored in PRDs, plans, ADRs, or commits.
  • Context Tailoring: Adjusts the handoff content based on user-provided arguments describing the next session's focus area.
  • Sensitive Data Protection: Automatically redacts API keys, passwords, and personally identifiable information from the summary.
  • Use Case: You're working with an agent to debug a complex backend issue, but need to end the session for the day. Use this Skill to generate a handoff doc so the next agent can immediately pick up the work with full context, no sensitive data exposed.

Quick Start

Use the handoff skill to create a handoff document for continuing work on the payment processing integration bug tomorrow.

What is the best way to avoid duplicating existing artifacts in a conversation summary?▼

Avoid duplicating existing artifacts by referencing content already stored in PRDs, plans, ADRs, or commits instead of copying it. The handoff document intelligently compacts history without repeating this stored content.

When do I need to generate a handoff doc for iterative task execution?▼
